I think this is the big news in this article, which was first published Friday night. Unless I missed it, this is the first report of Comey talking to the IG. Is Comey thus cooperating with the IG, and possibly John Huber? Has he made other "comments" to the IG? If he has, were they under oath? Could Mr. Comey have made "comments" about the only two people above him, Obama and Lynch? Might he have made "comments" about Mrs. Clinton and Brennan?

Criminal Comey is a trained, skilled liar. Without being under oath he can be expected to lie to his masters’ content.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton...”

“In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton’s 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ...”

“The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s.”

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker’s business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton’s successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

He is a 'tall drink of water' that leaks like a sieve.

Would this be Comey the religious memo writer leaker not being able to use his notes to accurately recall his false statements, recollections, testimony?

Not buying it, take into custody for contempt and hold until he remembers the truth or where he filed (or leaked) his memos (to).

I always said, Bill Clinton had to be elected president in order to stay out of jail.

If you read McCabe’s statement, he supposedly has co-workers that will support his having spoken to Comey about Pess contact, and Comey’s agreeing to it.

Interesting how suddenly there’s a leak as to what the IG has found, no?

My guess is that it’s not a leak from within, but from without, and is just a way for Comey and McCabe to get their respective (and contradictory) stories sorted out using a public forum so they don’t have to raise eyebrows by trying to meet privately.

McCabe: “Sorry I incriminated you in my letter by claiming we’d discussed the leaking privately.”

Comey: “I recall no such discussion.”

McCabe: “Got it, you’ve already denied it, so you just say you don’t recall, and I’ll keep saying I informed you, so I can stick to my story.”

Comey: “It would have been better if you hadn’t opened your yap, but I guess this will have to do. Now stick to the script from here on out.”

McCabe: “Will do. You too.”
